Owen Coyle keen on keeping Daniel Sturridge for another term
Bolton Wanderers’ manager Owen Coyle has expressed his desire to keep http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Sturridge-c10076 on loan for another season.
Sturridge is currently on loan from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 Under-21 striker has scored four goals in four games since joining Bolton in the January
2011 transfer window.
The manager played an important role in grooming Jack Wilshere in his days at Bolton and now he is a first team regular at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429. Coyle said that Sturridge is also an exciting footballer with natural talent and he wants players like him in his team.
“He is such a natural finisher but much more than that. He is such a natural footballer. They are the kind of players I like to bring into the club. He is young and exciting,” said the former Burnley manager.
Coyle said he would love Sturridge to stay at Bolton for another season and enjoy his football. Bolton will probably be without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Johan-Elmander-c18782 in the 2011-12 season as he is not willing to sign a new contract with the club. The Trotters would be without
striking options after that and Sturridge could be the solution to the problem.
“I would love him to stay here. I have said 'come in, enjoy your football, play with a smile on your face and see where that takes you'. I would love his loan to continue next season,” added the Bolton manager.
The manager added that he was close on getting http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jack-Wilshere-c17463 for another season but the London club’s injury problems stalled the move. He said that Wilshere has now cemented his place in the first team and Sturridge could do the same given the chance.
Sturridge has scored important goals for Bolton in the four matches he has played for the Trotters including the last minute winner against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
